<nettime> bordergramm |
hi nettimers, allow me to forward to you two messages and some news about the border camp <http://www.contrast.org/borders/camp> from aug 7 -15. actually members of some of the most popular pop bands from germany, such as 'Blumfeld', 'Tocotronic', 'Die Goldenenen Zitronen' and several DJ's are preparing the opening of the border camp at german-polish-czech border triangle. on saturday, august 7th, a music-, film and theatre parade through the city of Zittau will move to the campsite, joined by the arriving campers and activists and DJ's from Poland. all of you, who won't come to the camp can follow up the events through a webjournal, which will be released at least once per day. since the people at the campsite will have very reduced capacities, we are looking for remote editors. if you are interested, please send a message to <grenze@ibu.de>. . within the last weeks we received a lot of messages from people, who announced to come and to contribute, and also from people, who were very sorry, because of no time, holidays and so on. but there is a number of people, who would be very interested in joining the camp, but they have no chance to afford the travel expanses. especially for those, who come from countries like Albania, it is impossible to reduce the costs by hitchhiking, taking cheap trains etc., because it would increase the number of visas they need. So they have to take quite expansive flights. we tried to get some fund raising, but as it seems, hopefully it will be enough for the basics. so, if there are some people, who see a possibility to organise a certain contribution or a cool way to reduce the travel costs of some individuals, please contact us asap. see you at the campsite, florian. --- Forwarded from: Alternative Network for Eastern Europe <alter-ee@lyris.most.org.pl> BORDERS THAT KILL PEOPLE Mircea Nedelciu is dead. Nedelciu is one the best romanian writers of the last 20 years and, in the same time, a man who loved the french culture and language. His work was about the free man, fighting the oppressive system. His drama started in 1991, when he was diagnosed with cancer. He was invited in France by french writers and, after a long wait, he managed to obtain the french visa. He arrived in France and he was consulted by some of the best french surgeons. He was scheduled for operation in the fall of '95. The french doctors offered their services "pro bonno" and french writers offered to cover the rest of the expenses. But in the mean time his visa expired and Nedelciu had to return to Romania and ask for another visa from the French Embassy. Well, now you'll see the most incredible example of cynicism. He was granted a visa to stay in France starting with the next day after the date when his operation was scheduled ! Off course, people protested here but the french bureaucrats couldn't care less. In the end a new date for the operation was found and, after the intervention of Romania's President directly to Chirac, he was allowed to go. The operation was performed in 1997, two years after the original date ! It was too late. Mircea Nedelciu died on July 14 1999, the french national day.

The boat had leaved the Montenegro coast and reached the italian port accompanied by the italian military forces. The day before had arrived other 762 roma refugees from Kosovo. The italian government decided yesterday that because of the end of the "official conflict" in Kosovo no more refugees will be accepted in Italy, and all those who in theese days reached the italian soil from Kosovo must be councidered as illegal immigrants to be expelled back in their Country of origin. All the roma in Brindisi and Bari described the serious mistreatments that they had suffered in Kosovo: their houses have been burnt, their lives menaced. Once more the roma people is damaged from war and not recognized as victim of the war from the civilized world.
